Updated! Sovran Self Storage: Q4, 2009 + Post Call


Sovran Self Storage's results came in ahead of expectations because of lower expenses and reduced occupancy losses. There appears to be little appetite for acquisitions in 2010 and increased expenses. RBC Capital Markets have given the REIT a sector perform with average risk rating.

  Q4, 2009  Q4, 2008 
Reporting FFO  $0.28/share  $0.78/share 
Operating FFO  $0.64/share   
NOI growth  -3.4%  -1.8% 
Occupancy  81.1%  81.8% 

Sovran Self Storage's 2010 earnings will be pressured by the after effects of de-leveraging, asset recylcing activities and the impact of increased promotional activity. There are limited acquisition opportunities and few catalysts which could drive SSS to outperform. RBC have maintained its rating as sector perform with average risk.

  2009A  2010E  2011E 
Reported FFO  $2.29/share  $2.36/share  $2.48/share 
Operating FFO  $2.75/share  $2.36/share   $2.48/share 
Occupancy  81%  81.5%  82.6% 
Price Target     $36.00/share
